Imagine a “magical realm where gamers from all walks of life unite under one gigantic roof, armed with their trusty keyboards, and fueled by an insatiable passion for pixels — where the glow of screens paints the air with a neon aura allowing you to experience, conquer, and share with newfound friends.”
Sounds pretty incredible, right?! It is a reality at DreamHack.
DreamHack Dallas 2024 was held from May 31-June 2 — and 1,000 Dreams Fund was there for all the digital delight.
The Dallas event was our FOURTH DreamHack (read more about our time at DreamHack Atlanta 2023 here!) — and we continue to be so honored to be included among the featured charities.
This time around, we took part in the Dream Big Initiative, where attendees could purchase discounted tickets AND contribute to charity. Fifty percent of ticket proceeds went right back to the charities all weekend long.
There was even a Dreamathon charity streaming marathon, where streamers from around the world joined forces to raise money and awareness of the charities at DreamHack Dallas — and 1,000 Dreams Fund had the opportunity to participate in the big marathon finale on the mainstage in front of more than 10,000 people.
For DreamHack Dallas, we brought along a few Dream Team members, including Jhannaa, Imfamousx1x, SemsLyfe, and MelaninAndEspressos. They not only helped at our booth and joined us on the mainstage, but they also contributed to our special panel: Bridging The Gender Gap.
Our Dream Team is dedicated to serving as exemplified leaders for women and folks in esports, gaming, broadcasting, and beyond through their support of the BroadcastHER Initiative, so we were thrilled to have them in the mix.
As if that weren’t enough, 1,000 Dreams Fund even served as the “Sheriff’s Deputy” in the DreamHack Quest — a Wild West-themed activation that included a number of fun activities around the festival, side quests, prizes, rewards, and more!
PLUS, we got the chance to meet SO MANY of YOU! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, we can’t wait to see you again!
DreamHack Dallas was nothing short of a DREAM come true!
